Good work deserves a proper reply.
Aroha was founded by Leo Bons, who started building it at 19. Aroha means love and care in te reo Māori: the person ringing a small business is looked after even when the owner cannot pick up. Your phone still rings first, the receptionist says it is an AI if asked, every call has a recording and transcript, and plans are month to month in New Zealand dollars.
What I promise every business that uses Aroha.
- Your phone still rings first.
- Aroha only answers the calls you do not get to. You can switch it off with one code.
- It says it is an AI if anyone asks.
- No pretending to be a person. Callers who want you can leave a message, or be put through if you switch that on.
- You see everything it does.
- Every call has the recording, the transcript and a plain note of anything it got wrong.
- Month to month, in New Zealand dollars.
- No contract. Leave whenever you like.
- Your customers stay yours.
- We never sell your data or theirs, and there are no ads.
Built with business owners, not just for them.
The test is not whether it sounds impressive. It is whether your day got easier. Tell me what got in the way and that is what gets fixed next.
